Well that was the very last quiz of 2012 at Fazakerleys Bar last night. Thank you everyone for making it out, I know how hard it can be when you are snug in your home with the fire going.Congratulations to Eric and Freda on winning the quiz last night with a grand score of 52, there were only 7 points between all teams so quite a close quiz. Freda was also lucky with the envelope draw raffle, winning a raki but not the grand prize.Next week there will be only 10 envelopes left and the prize will be over 50 Euros if you pick the winning envelope.

NEW QUIZ FOR 2013Starting on the 4th Jan 2013 the quiz at Fazakerleys is getting a little facelift. There will be more rounds, but they will be shorter. This means the quiz should be the same length but there will be more categories for you to mull over.Also there will be a suggested entry donation of 50 cents per person. The charity this will go to will be Cancer Research UK.After 6 months I will ask the quiz members which charity they would like the next 6 months entry donations to go to. I hope you all have a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2013.I hope to see you all on 4th Jan for the FIRST QUIZ OF 2013.Ian

Thank-you everyone who braved the cold and wind to make it to the Black Lantern Christmas quiz last night. It was another great night with some close rounds from all the teams but the picture and music rounds really helped to separate the teams. The raffle prizes went down well with most tables winning at least one special santa suprise (Sorry Vince & Carolyn, not your night last night).The questions are now all live on the website and I have managed to get the music questions on the site too. Congratulations to 'The Twerps' on winning the quiz a second week running and they have also moved to the top of the league but it is still fairly close between the teams.Thanks again to everyone on helping to raise more funds for Help For Heroes, we are now not far off 500 Euros raised for the charity.Thanks also to Graham and Ewalina for donating the main raffle prize and looking after us all so well during the quiz nights.I hope to see you all for the next quiz in the New Year on 5th jan 2013 at The Black Lantern Taverna.

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all from Alison and myself. Ian

Well we all managed to survive the end of the world yesterday and so I hope you will be able to make it to The Black Lantern for the Christmas Quiz this evening. Starting at 8pm it has a Christmassy theme running through it, with picture rounds, music and of course the HELP FOR HEROES CHARITY phrase that pays round.Entry fee just 1 Euro per person with all proceeds going to the charity. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and last place and also a few extra small raffle prizes, as it Christmas, as well as the meal for two and some wine.I

What a great night last night at Fazakerleys Bar. First off I have to thank everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable night, especially those of you who brought the food, what a spread was put on.Congratulations to 'The Pointless Chickens' on winning the quiz and also coming first in the mini games. I am sure the wine will go down well over Christmas!I certainly was not expecting the tables to be turned on me...the 'Mastermind' round was a big shock, especially as I got ALL of the Star Wars questions wrong apart from one. I will have my revenge...you have been warned :-)Thank you again to all of you that researched a Star Wars question (No matter how obscure) and thanks to Eric, well, I say thanks ;-) ...for organising the torture of myself.The envelope draw raffle was won again by Carolyn, but unfortunately she let Vince pick the envelope and he's not as lucky as his wife. He still managed to win a Raki but the main prize fund has rolled over. It should be up to around 60 euros next Friday Night. A nice little bonus for the New Year. As discussed last night, starting in the New Year there will be a small charge for the quiz at Fazakerleys of 50c per person. After 6 months the money raised will be sent off to a charity agreed by the quiz members, which this time is going to be Cancer Research UK. There will be a slight change of format to the quiz also, I will post more news nearer the time. Thankyou all...Merry Christmas and see you next Friday @9pm in Fazakerleys Bar!Ian

Hi all, well last weeks Fazakerleys quiz for some reason had some issues on the website.

The full scores were -Pointless Chickens - 54 PointsMe, Him & Her - 54 PointsBrain Dead - 54 Points2 Short Planks - 45 PointsJust The Two Of Us - 41 PointsIncognito - 34 Points (Actually Team Cyclamen, but ashamed to show their true name after a dismal quiz!!)The envelope draw has been won during the early stages again, 95 Euros went last night to the same winner of the last draw - Carolyn. She certainly is a very lucky person, I think I will have to get her to buy my lottery tickets!Next week is the Christmas quiz, so as well as the normal quiz rounds there will be some extra festive games thrown in for good measure and Gina and Paul will be putting on some snacks. The envelope draw will be back up to 12 envelopes and a starting fund of 12.50 Euros.Thanks everyone for your support at the quizzes, hope to see you all again soonIan
